Saturday Is Splurge Day!


You’ve earned it! Today is a great day to treat yourself for all your hard work and brilliant efforts.

Anything that will make your heart sing and spirits soar. Today’s the day to give yourself the loving attention you 100% deserve. Enjoy!

I’m Diggin’ It!

The exaggerated version of the “No Makeup” look is really working for me. Much like in the image shown above, courtesy of M.A.C. for Carolina Herrera A/W 08. James Kaliardos created this gorgeous look by employing beige tones to accentuate the natural architecture of the face.

“It’s a neutral face…but it’s a built face. It’s graphic, but minimal.”

According to M.A.C. this ethereal glow was crafted by cueing lids contoured in the eyeshadow Satin Taupe, a deepened lashline, light mascara, set brows, subtly scooped-out cheekbones and blushed-up lips. Just divine! As every self-respecting makeup maven will have several breathtaking shades of beige in her arsenal…just to be sure to be sure, you’ll have no dramas creating this flawless look to suit your beautiful self. This makeup look is the very reason why we all look so good “without” makeup on. *wink*

By Jingoes!

I know. Incorrigible, I am. I think I may have found THE most amazing eye and lip makeup remover on this planet. I kid you not. Shizen Certified Organic Lip & Eye Make-up Remover is just awesome! As we all know, I do fancy a little bit (okay, a BIG bit) of eye makeup and the more tenacious the better. So with my penchant for long-wearing eye makeup, a little tickle with a run of the mill remover isn’t going to make a lick of difference. Shizen Certified Organic Lip & Eye Make-up Remover doesn’t take any mess from the best of the not easily discouraged. This little beauty is so gentle, ultra nourishing, uber effective and exceedingly graceful in persuading your eye and lip makeup to take leave. I’ve never been so excited to remove my makeup before using this gorgeous little number. You’ve got to grab a bottle just to witness the maestro at work. Just fabulous! Shizen Lip & Eye Make-up Remover is the business!

A Little Dab Will Do Ya!

A little dab of colour that is… For today, why not sneak in a gorgeous bit of colour into your makeup FOTD (face of the day). I’m thinking a little something on the lines of a gorgeous hint of shimmering couverture tight lined along your lower lashes, or an emerald, copper or aubergine perhaps? Even a touch of graphite, violet or deep teal smudged gleefully into your lashline would be beyond divine. Just a hint of colour added to your eyes will make your eyes pop (in the nicest, most lady-like way of course)! Here are a few of the many eyeliner possibilities to assist in graciously emboldening you to make your fabulous foray into the bright side. The options are endless and endlessly beautiful:

Clinique Kohl Shaper For Eyes in Blackened teal
Bobbi Brown Long Wearing Gel Eyeliner in Graphite Shimmer Ink
M.A.C. Eye Kohl in Prunella
i.d bareMinerals Liner Shadow in Green Tea
NARS Eyeliner in Kitty
INIKA Mineral Eye Liner in Chocolate
Stila Smudge Pot in Copper
NYX Eyeliner in Sapphire
CLARINS Kohl Powder Eye Liner in Tropical Violet

Go on, give it a go… you’ll adore it, that I’m sure of. Enjoy!

A Secret Weapon For The Serial Straightener.

Hi, I’m BM! and I’m a Serial Straightener. Naughty, I know, but like all serial straighteners, I just can’t help myself. But, but, but…I do use protection though. Lucky for me and my tresses there are a few fabbo serums about to assist me in the practice of safe straightening. My locks have been loving me long time thanks to FRIZZ-EASE Hair Serum Thermal Protection Formula from the John Frieda Collection. This silk protein, phytantriol and vitamin E enriched serum leaves my hair soft, glossy and healthy looking all the while protecting my hair from heat and UV damage and sealing out the dreaded frizz. This secret weapon may, indeed, be the serial straighteners best friend.

Change Is As Good As…


A holiday, yes siree, Bob! I don’t know about the weather in your neck of the woods, but in mine, it’s so changeable that the old adage about fickle weather rings true: “If you don’t like the weather… just wait a minute.” Yep, it’s just that variable. So to cope with the “variety” I’ve been really giving my new cosmetic crush a workout and have managed to have all the bases covered, with great aplomb (or should that be apeach?), thanks to BECCA. BECCA’s newest Beach Tint in Peach is it. Love it! Love it! Love it! BECCA Beach Tint in Peach is a gorgeous warm orange pink crème stain for the cheeks and lips. BECCA Beach Tint in Peach is a beautifully scented, long-lasting, ultra blendable stain that is darn near kiss-proof and highly water-resistant. This divine creme stain is streak-free, non-greasy, and suitable for all skin types. But wait, there’s more: You can apply this beauty with fingers or brush and it will look gorgeous every time! Plus, BECCA Beach Tint is preservative and paraben free. Just like we like it!

BECCA Beach Tint in Peach is on counter now. Away you go…you’ll love it! Promise.
